As newly qualified pharmacists Noel Wicks and Jonathan
Burton, the two immediate past-presidents of the British Pharmaceutical
Students Association, took over Campus Pharmacy at the University of Stirling
a year ago. Working closely with the university’s health service and the
students union welfare development office, as well as drawing from their
own experiences as students at Bradford and Cardiff, they have developed
student-focused services, including sexual health, travel medicine and
nutrition.
Speaking at a celebration on 23 July to mark the
refurbishment of the pharmacy, Alison Strath, chairwoman of the Royal
Pharmaceutical Society’s Scottish Executive, said that such initiatives
by young pharmacists should be warmly supported by the profession. Bill
Scott, chief pharmaceutical officer for Scotland, suggested that the provision
of comprehensive health services and pharmaceutical care had to be a priority
for all pharmacists in Scotland.
